Gearbox is teasing more Borderlands 2 news, official Twitter account taken over yet again

Gearbox isn't done with Borderlands 2. We can't know for certain what the studio has planned now, but they've begun teasing something potentially big via an official Twitter channel.

The Twitter account for KRIEG (or just "Krieg") has been seeing some odd updates over the last few hours. For those unaware of the significance here, this is how Gearbox typically makes Borderlands 2 announcements: pretend the Twitter account is being "taken over" by someone.

Here are the three teaser-tweets (can't believe I just typed that out) in question:

Actually, I'm less interested in who this fellow is and more curious as to what "NIPpLE SaLAds" are. Hell, I wouldn't mind knowing why s/he's typing like a high schooler using AOL messenger in the '90s.

What does it mean? At the very least, we're expecting a trailer for a new character, but here's hoping for something more. A new campaign might be nice.

Either way, we'll keep you all updated on the situation. For now, Gearbox gets to be cheeky.

RabidChinaGirl Haven't you played Borderlands 2?...Krieg is a Psycho, they say some crazy shit and are generally uneducated.

If you check all the other tweets on that account, they're typed out normally. The nonsensical stuff started happening four hours ago, and as the article notes, Gearbox has a habit of making new BL2 announcements in this fashion. The odd posts could be from Krieg still, or someone else entirely.

"What does it mean? At the very least, we're expecting a trailer for a new character, but here's hoping for something more. A new campaign might be nice." Welll umm, Krieg is a psycho with size comparable to Brick or larger, so typing can't be to easy. Also he is bat shit insane, so there is that. And about the campaign, we have had no news of that so far sadly, but Krieg was slated to release in May. Also, the reason all the tweets before today(and the first one today) are typed correctly is that Krieg has taken over the twitter account (formerly controlled by Sir Hammerlock before the Hammerlock DLC dropped, and Captain Scarlett and Gaige before him) The tweet stating "Curious -- my ECHO device seems to be making a rather high-pitched noise. Confuddling." Seems to be just before Krieg took over the account.

Yes, they announced that there would be a new playable character called Krieg who is a Bandit and would be purchasable as DLC and would be coming out in May. I'm guessing they'll surprise us by releasing him slightly before May or May 1.
